Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Dry, Encapsulated Crawl Space in Englishtown, NJ

Keeping out air is an important part of making sure a crawl space is healthy. In the summer, humid and damp air gets into the crawl space. In the winter, cold drafts make it more expensive to heat. This Englishtown, NJ homeowner wanted his crawl space encapsulated so that air would no longer get inside. He needed it waterproof and dry so he called Quality 1st Basement Systems. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed CleanSpace in the crawl space to keep out moisture and air. CleanSpace is a thick plastic vapor barrier that prevents water from coming into the crawl and lowers the relative humidity. In the crawl space, the crew installed a sump pump to move water out of the home. The sump pump is designed specially for crawl spaces in mind, to make sure that they stay dry and do not flood. Often, the crawl space was very humid and the air was moist so the homeowner wanted a dehumidifier. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed a powerful dehumidifier to remove moisture from the air. The dehumidifier also removes air impurities and musty odors from the air, keeping it fresh and smelling great. Now this crawl space is clean and dry. The homeowner can even use it for storage without worry!
